It seems like the Pribir fans are currently busy lighting up Star Plus's offices/studios on fire, whilst the Humpa fans are celebrating the union of two of the most evil families in India, but we're not here to talk about the finale! Now that everything is said and done, please share your thoughts and experience, on the show as a whole, from day one to the psuedo marriage, the eliminations, the breakups, the hookups, the conspiracies, the politics, to Rajbir's andey ka funda, and of course, Hitesh's gunda gardi.



The Good

  • The show had a great concept, though far from original, but it did encompass the concept of two of India's biggest (and best) reality shows; Rakhi Ka Swayamvar and Big Boss. It sounded great on paper, although it was plagued with flaws (see The Bad).
  • Nandita-- by far, the most deserving candidate of the show. What a breath of fresh air, to see an educated woman, who not only speaks her mind, but actually has a backbone and a spine. She's independent, smart, and cultured at the same time. She's the only contestant, worth being idolized.
  • Gaurav-- again, I'd say he's the male version of Nandita; smart, sensible, logical and humorous. I think my interest in the show began to waver when he left.
  • Yash-- well, if it wasn't for PB, how would I have found my perfect groom, aka Yash? *fangirl squeal*.... Despite what many here claim about him, that he's a mama's boy and that he wronged Gurpreet, I find him to be very sensible and logical. It was clear that his mother was not going to accept Gurpreet as his daughter in law, and instead of leading Gurpreet on further, he stopped himself from walking on a path that did not exist.
The Bad
  • All female contestants, other than perhaps Nandita, and Silkina, are pathetic examples of what a Perfect Bride should be. All of them were here for fame, and donned a psuedo personality to impress the men and their mothers. Despicable.
  • The fact that Hitesh and his mother dominated the show, without any interference or a voice of reason from either the channel, or any of the contestants.
The Ugly
  • The fact that this show had no idea what it's point was. I was always under the impression that it was an aid, of some sorts, for a woman looking for marriage. It was, originally anyway, meant to be a platform for potential bahu's to showcase their personalities and their talents, and pick a mate whom she could spend her life with. Instead, the show's concept was clouded by domination and politics, and it seemed that if you were not paired up with a man, you were somehow incompetant and not a candidate for a Perfect Bride. Never was it established that marriage on the show was compulsory. It's Perfect Bride, not Perfect Jodi, and I know it's not Perfect Woman or Lady either, but in order to be a Perfect Bride, one must be a Perfect woman first. Neither of the two finalists had any qualities that would be fit for a 'Perfect Bride'
  • The show was a set up from day one. Priyanka and Raj knew each other from before, and probably did not have marriage in their cards, but still used this show as a platform to test their luck and propel their fame. I, for one, think that Rajbir's dad was sensible and DIDN'T do anything wrong. Whatever he said on the phone, was absolutely correct. Call me old fashioned, but that's what any sensible parent would have said. He doesn't know Priyanka. He doesn't know his family. How can he decide on a partner for his son without knowing the person in question? What he said about meeting each other's families outside the show was perfectly sensible and logical. I don't think Priyanka and Raj were ever serious. I mean, Raj NEVER tried finding out why his dad said no to Priyanka?! OH WAIT HE DID. ON HIS FRIGGIN' WEDDING DAY. He knew his dad didn't agree, then why did he keep Priyanka in the loop until the day of the marriage? Was he expecting a miracle to occur? And Priyanka, without the slightest hesitation, agreed with Raj and followed in his foot steps. Right. SETTTTTTTTTTTT UP.

  • Hitler's Mom

I have much more to say, but I'll leave it till now.

lmao. I agree with your post except that you should not look at my husband, yash.😆

I can't call hitesh or his mom hitler because I really feel that rumpa is the bigger witch. I feel very bad for hitesh for what he got himself into.
🤢

I have said this many times that the format of the show was flawed It was tilted towards boys. boys had unfair advantage while girls lost out..5 boys for 10girls is horrible ratio. Beside boys had help of their mothers while girls had nobody to help them.

In my opinion many girls were very nice but the show didn't give them chance to flourish.

Are you not biased yourself? The forum runs because of biased people. As for getting lost she is free to do whatever she wants. No need to be rude. 😊

i agree 50% of ur post n disagree d oder 50%..well i completly agree ur gud things of pb..but i disagree d d bad n ugly..well i dont agree vt ur point tht none of d contestant were deserving oder thn nanditha n silkina..well one thing we r not tryin to find PB of india..its just tht PB frm tht 10 girls n tht 10 girls should marry ny1 frm d 5 guys..so thinkin abt d 5 guys i dont think d guys will get ny1 better thn des 10 girls..n none in dis world is perfect..well no1 can b perfect bride fr d enitre india..dey can only b perfect fr dr grooms family..n i think every girl has done perfectly in tht..n i think we need to appreciate dem fr entertain us fr d past 3 months...dey had to guts to fynd d lyf patner frm a reality show..let it b in a perfect way or by hooks n crook
n den abt raj n pri..well i think d reason raj doesnt knw y his dad dislyk pri is bcoz whenever ny1 ask raj's dad he only say i never told dr is ny fault in d girl but i think we need more tym ..n i do agree vt raj;s dad marriage is sum'n tht should b decided aftr seein everythin as its a lyf tym matter..he found his bride here..nw its families turn to take d decision..n he hav told tht several tyms tht he is totally commited to pri
n abt pri..i guess she jus understood wht raj wants n she trust him..so she patiently is w8in fr his dad's approval n moreover..i think she has no option left as her name s already joined vt raj..n it would b difficult fr her to get nother groom as in national t.v she hav said tht she luvs raj n did all drama lyk kissin in a national t.v..so all she can do is to w8 patiently fr d dad's approval.

Fresh concept..

along with Girls boys too sucks.. only Hitesh was serious about marriage.. don't know about gaurav but Yashdeep and Vivek were pathetic.. don't know why they came in the show when they were not ready for marriage,, Biggest Joker was Rajbir...

still looking for next year's Perfect bride and I hope they will telecast the show in usa along with India time, not 2 weeks behind

I completely, wholeheartedly agree with ur post......the show was skewed in favor of the boy's and their moms from the start....it was regressive for women in my opinion....and hence only those who could don a fake persona of being the "ideal indian women" survived till the end....there were sooo sooo many occassions when the show seemed scripted it's not even funny.....🤢
Among the girls, apart from nandita i never really identified with any of the girls....silkina seemed sensible for the short while she was there, and pooja too acted gracefully and maturely, but i always suspected her real intentions to be on the show....but apart from these 3 girls, i could not even stand any of the girls much...suchitra got on my nerves from day 1, maybe if priyanka varshney would have been given more time on the show, she could have been good, seemed like a nice girl....but didn't get to see her much...vrinda, gurpreet, both full of themselves, and had a air of over-confidence, and attitude issues,both of whom lacked even the basic manners and decency to talk to elders, amrita was okay, swati again never liked her, and the finalists...ahh well...the less said the better....both seemed desperate to me, to win the show, to get married on the show...as if , outside there would be no chance of them getting married....atleast pri kept steady with one guy throughout, but after declaring her love for a guy on national tv,it was disgusting to see rumpa jump ships so quickly, she kept saying, " ab gaurav nahi hain, gaurav ke jaane ke baad"...and i said to myself, sheesh lady, gaurav isn't dead, he's just outta the show, you can meet him once u r out of this hellhole....urghhhh🤢🤢
Coming to guys....
Vivek seemed like a sweetheart, but right away i knew he was gonna face a problem, connecting with a girl on the show, simply because, his age difference with most girls was around a decade.....the only girl suitable for him age wise was priyanka, but they never even considered it for a moment. 😕
Hitman, I absolutely could not stand from day 1, he seemed, like a arrogant brat, bade baap ki bigdi aulaad type of guy to me....i never liked him, and he atleast to me came across like a loose charechter guy, who lusts after women....maybe i'm wrong, but most women have a 6th sense abt guys, and mine told me, that he's a bad boy....🤢🤢
Rajvir, the greek god.....oh my god, when i saw him first on the show...i could not believe my eyes, that such a good looking guy was gonna be on the show....but i was turned off when he started to speak....he comes across as jittery, under-confident, and not at all eloquent when he speaks....ideally for me pooja was he only takkar-ki gf, but she was wayyy too classy for him..so other than looks, it would have been a complete mismatch....when he choose pri, i was literally weeping inside, and i'm not even his family, so i can imagine how his family must feel, u know their gabroo jawan has selected this girl-next door, who literally they could have found just right next door....why did he need to go on a tv show to find her???/ but i guess that's why they say love is blind....his lack of commitment always bothered me, and i just hope that pri isn't totally heartbroken after this, because, anytime a guy and a girl are called a couple, it's the girl who loses more in the bargain...always...
Yash...aah yash...the dreamy, svuave,debonair yash......i really liked him ...right from the 1st day....right from the moment they showed his intro on screen, with him horse-riding, he looked like a prince....for one he was HOTTT....and a man of few words...that made him all the more dreamy...contrary to popular belief, i don't think he was ever in love with gur, he was simply attracted to her, because she was practically throwing herself at him....i was very impressed the way he handled the gurpreet situation, he was stuck between a rock and a hard place.....but still maintained his own and his mom's dignity....kudos...👏👏👏.
Gaurav....The one guy who was complete husband material on the show.....very well educated, well-settled, intelligent, good-looking, mild-mannered....i could go on and on....his mom seemed wierd to me....but he was a guy with a firm head on his shoulders...it was shame...the channel wanted to go the hindi film love story route, and he was eliminated early on....anyways it was the show's loss...not his...😳
Among the mom's the hitmom, was horrible...exactly like shashikala, of the olden days, supermanipulative, controlling, and over-the-top....but yet i found her wierdly entertaining......😉
raj's mom was a sweetheart, but lacked a backbone...kept shifting between girls, finally gave up and settled for pri.....
Vivek's mom too a sweetheart, cultured and totally adorable, she'll make a great mil....but one problem with her was, she never took any interest in any of the girls, there was a reason the mom's were put in the house...it was to help their son's select girls..she never did that....had she suggested something to vivek, u never know..vivek might have found his match on the show..,,,😕
gaurav's mom...as i already mentioned i found her totally wierd....i can't pinpoint as to why...but i did.....😛
Yash's mom...my fav...she is a mixture of my own mom, and my mil, quiet, reserved, and simple....doesn't like to poke her nose in other's business.....a little stubborn at times...but overall certainly a good person....i respected her a lot......and think that she had to take a lot of crap on this show for nothing....she was being made a villain by the channel, just for entertainment purposes.....but kudos to her, for taking it all in her stride....👏👏👏
Lastly, i will miss this show, yes, but i will miss this forum even more....i'm gonna have withdrawal symptoms for sure the next few days......😭😭😭
